- MORE ON THE METAL MUFF’S GATE FUNCTION -
PURPOSE - The gate in the Metal Muff section has two main purposes:
1) to reduce the hum when the Metal Muff is set to higher DRIVE
settings and 2) to make the echoes from the Memory Toy more distinct
when using the Metal Muff and Memory Toy together.
HOW IT WORKS – The Metal Muff’s gate mutes or un-mutes the
output of the Metal Muff. When the gate is closed, the output of the
Metal Muff is muted. When the gate is open, the output of the Metal
Muff comes through at its full volume. The gate opens and closes based
on the level of your instrument before it hits the Metal Muff’s distortion
circuitry. When the volume of the input signal goes above the threshold
level set by the THRESHOLD knob, the gate opens allowing the Metal
Muff to output its signal. When the volume of the instrument goes below
the threshold, the gate closes to mute the Metal Muff output.
HOW TO SET IT – Activate the gate by pushing the GATE button, the
Metal Muff’s LED
should turn green. Turn THRESHOLD down to full counter-clockwise, you
should hear hum coming through the amp. Turn THRESHOLD clockwise
until the hum is muted. You can leave it there for a light gate setting.
For a more intense gate setting continue to increase THRESHOLD in the
clockwise direction. It is important to know that when you use the gate,
you will lose some sustain. The gate will chop off the end of your notes.
The higher you set the THRESHOLD knob, the quicker it will chop off the
end of your notes. Set the THRESHOLD level too low though, and the
gate will remain open, never muting the output of the Metal Muff.
